Environmentalist Twitter Is Up In Arms After Neymar Flew On A GIANT Boeing 747 To His New Team In Saudi Arabia

Just bananas amount of interaction on some of the tweets ripping Neymar and rich people for doing what they do in best: fly private. It's the best perk of being rich if you subscribe to Portnoy scripture. 25 million impressions and 400,000 likes. Sheesh. That iced coffee you drank through a paper straw to save the environment? Hope that tasted good this morning buddy. 

I'm no scientist, and I'm not going to fact check this, but if there's any stat to believe on the Internet, it's definitely one from a Twitter user called "Bored At Gym"

I think there's gotta be some middle ground here. No one tell these guys on Twitter that they gave Neymar a private plane at his disposal for the entirety of his contract in Saudi Arabia. But a private 747 is one of the more unfathomable things I've seen. Air Drake is a Boeing 767 and it looks like a spaceship:

Neymar's 747 puts that to shame. Drake's team is probably substantially bigger than that of Neymar's entourage, but a plane that could probably fit 500 people is bonkers. Not as bonkers as his opening ceremony though:

The Saudi football experiment is one that you don't want to look at, but you can't look away either. Just pure insanity every step of the way. But pageviews are pageviews, and luxury is luxury. I will be there every step of the way.
